Create a premium cinematic dark fantasy illustration in a strict vertical 9:16 composition. A solitary ancient monk walks through an immense snow-covered forest at night. He wears a long, heavily weathered dark monastic robe with a deep hood, worn leather sandals and a simple wooden staff. His face is mostly hidden in shadow, his posture calm and deliberate. The central supernatural phenomenon is that absolute darkness physically pours from beneath his robe and trails behind him like an enormous living river of night. It spreads silently across the snow, swallowing trees, rocks, footprints and distant landscape wherever it passes. The darkness is not smoke and not ordinary shadow; it is a dense supernatural absence of light, with subtle depth and faint silhouettes moving inside it. The monk himself remains surrounded by a small circle of natural moonlight, creating a striking contrast between his quiet figure and the enormous black darkness flowing from his body. Behind him, the forest gradually disappears into the night. In the far distance, a ruined monastery stands half buried in snow, with a single warm window still illuminated. Tiny ravens sit silently on snow-covered branches. A broken stone statue of the same monk stands beside the path, suggesting that this figure has walked through the forest for centuries. Near the foreground, old human footprints lead toward the monk but abruptly disappear when they touch the darkness. One tiny lantern lies abandoned in the snow, its flame still burning despite being surrounded by the supernatural blackness. Subtle visual storytelling suggests that the monk is not spreading darkness by choice; he is carrying it somewhere, as though protecting the world from something even worse. The darkness behind him contains barely visible outlines of enormous ancient eyes and forgotten architecture, rewarding close inspection without becoming obvious.
